You work so hard to make a favorable impression on job candidates. But what happens when they show up for work? How are you handling the employee's first hour, first day, first week and first months on the job?

The truth is, a "sink or swim” onboarding process doesn't work. Research shows that employees who are part of a structured onboarding program are 69% more likely to remain with the company after three years than those who are not.

Yet most employers devote less time to planning their onboarding procedures than they do their holiday party … a mistake that costs greatly in your bottom line and reputation.
